# vim-textobj-sentence

> Improving on Vim's native sentence motion
Features of this plugin:

* Better sentence detection
* Support for lightweight markup languages (markdown, e.g.)
* Support for typographical quotes
* Support for abbreviations
* Buffer scoped?

## Requirements

May require a recent version of Vim.

## Installation

Install using Pathogen, Vundle, Neobundle, or your favorite Vim package
manager.

This plugin has an important (and useful) dependency that you will need to
install.

* [kana/vim-textobject-user](https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user) - a Vim plugin to create your own text objects without pain

## Configuration

### Abbreviations as false sentence endings

Detecting sentences can be tricky, where sometimes this plugin needs
a hint:

```
Mr. Maybe and Ms. Undecided watched Dr. No. I liked it.
```

To avoid false ends of sentences, this plugin detects common
abbreviations with the default that you can change in your `.vimrc`:

```
let g:textobj#sentence#abbreviations = [
\ 'Mr', 'Ms', 'Mrs', 'Dr', 'Prof', 'Sr', 'Jr',
\ 'vs', 'etc', 'no', 'esp'
\ 'Mt', 'Ft',
\ 'Ave', 'Blvd', 'Cl', 'Ct', 'Str']
```

Many more abbreviations are possible (found [here][ab]):

* People: Jr, Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, Prof, Sr, Sens?, Reps?,
Gov, Attys?, Supt, Det, Rev
* Military: Col, Gen, Lt, Cmdr, Adm, Capt, Sgt, Cpl, Maj
* Organizational: dept, univ, assn, bros, inc, ltd, co, corp
* Places: arc, al, ave, blv?d, cl, ct, cres, dr, expy?,
dist, Mt, Ft,
fw?y, hwa?y, la, pde?, pl, plz, rd, st, tce,
Ala , Ariz, Ark, Cal, Calif, Col, Colo, Conn,
Del, Fed , Fla, Ga, Ida, Id, Ill, Ind, Ia,
Kan, Kans, Ken, Ky , La, Me, Md, Is, Mass,
Mich, Minn, Miss, Mo, Mont, Neb, Nebr, Nev,
Mex, Okla, Ok, Ore, Penna, Penn, Pa, Dak,
Tenn, Tex, Ut, Vt, Va, Wash, Wis, Wisc, Wy,
Wyo, Alta, Man, Ont, Qué, Sask, Yuk
* Months: jan, feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sept?, oct, nov, dec
* Miscellaneous: vs, etc, no, esp

```vim
" standard vim command to enable loading the plugin files
" (and their indent support) for specific file types.
" It may already be in your .vimrc!
filetype plugin indent on
augroup quotable
autocmd!
autocmd FileType markdown call quotable#init()
autocmd FileType textile call quotable#init()
autocmd FileType python call quotable#init({ 'educate': 0 })
augroup END
```

The last statement initializes the plugin for buffers of `python` file type, but
disables the ‘educate’ feature by default. More on that below.

## Educating straight quotes

This plugin will ‘educate’ quotes, meaning that it will dynamically transform
straight quote key presses (`"` or `'`) into corresponding typographic quote
characters.

For example, entering the following sentence without this plugin using the
straight quote keys:

```
"It's Dr. Evil. I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called 'mister,'
thank you very much."
```

As expected all the quotes are straight ones. But with this plugin, the
straight quotes are transformed into the typographic equivalent as you
type:

```
“It’s Dr. Evil. I didn’t spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called ‘mister,’
thank you very much.”
```

### Entering straight quotes

In some cases, straight (ASCII) quotes are needed, such as:

```
“print "Hello World!"” is a simple program you can write in Python.
```

To insert a straight quote while educating, enter `«Ctrl-V»` before the quote key:

* `«Ctrl-V» "` - straight double quote
* `«Ctrl-V» '` - straight single quote

Note that for units of measurement you’ll want to use the prime symbol rather
than straight quotes, as in:

```
Standing at 7′3″ (2.21 m), Hasheem Thabeet of the Oklahoma City Thunder is the tallest
player in the NBA.
```

### Commands

You can enable (or toggle) the educating behavior with the following
commands:

```vim
QuotableEducateOn
QuotableEducateOff
QuotableEducateToggle
```

`QuotableEducateOn` will map the quote keys for transformation. Or better yet,
map to keys via your `.vimrc`:

```vim
nmap <silent> <leader>q1 :QuotableEducateOn<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>q0 :QuotableEducateOff<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>qq :QuotableEducateToggle<cr>
```

## Motion commands

Motion commands are a powerful feature of Vim.

By default, for motion commands, `q` denotes “double” quotes and `Q` denotes
‘single’ quotes.

* `ciq` - [Change Inside “double” quotes] - excludes quote chars
* `ciQ` - [Change Inside ‘single’ quotes] - excludes quote chars
* `caq` - [Change Around “double” quotes] - includes quote chars
* `caQ` - [Change Around ‘single’ quotes] - includes quote chars

Apart from `c` for change, you can `v` for visual selection, `d` for deletion,
`y` for yanking to clipboard, etc.

_Quotable_’s motion command is smart too, able to distinguish between an
apostrophe and single closing quote, even though both are represented by
the same glyph. For example, try out `viQ` on the following sentence:

```
‘Really, I’d rather not relive the ’70s,’ said zombie Elvis.
```

If you don’t like the defaults, you can redefine these by adding the following
to your `.vimrc`, changing the motion characters as you desire:

```vim
let g:quotable#doubleMotion = 'q'
let g:quotable#singleMotion = 'Q'
```

## Matchit support

Matchit enables jumping to matching quotes.

* `%` - jump to the matching typographic (curly) quote character

## Replace support

You can replace straight quotes in existing text with curly quotes, and
visa versa. Add key mappings of your choice to your `.vimrc`:

```
map <silent> <leader>qc <Plug>QuotableReplaceWithCurly
map <silent> <leader>qs <Plug>QuotableReplaceWithStraight
```

Both _Normal_ and _Visual_ modes are supported by this feature.

To transform all quotes in a document, use _Visual_ mode to select all the
text in the document.

## Surround support

This plugin supports basic surround capabilities. Add to your `.vimrc` key
mappings of your choice:

```vim
" NOTE: be sure to remove these mappings if using the tpope/vim-surround plugin!
map <silent> Sq <Plug>QuotableSurroundDouble
map <silent> SQ <Plug>QuotableSurroundSingle
```

Then you can use motion commands to surround your text with quotes:

(an asterisk is used to denote the cursor position)

* `visSq` - My senten*ce. => “My sentence.”
* `visSQ` - My senten*ce. => ‘My sentence.’

Alternatively, if you’ve installed Tim Pope’s [vim-surround][] plugin you also
have replace abilities on pairs of characters:

* `cs'q` - 'Hello W*orld' => “Hello World”
* `cs"q` - "Hello W*orld" => “Hello World”
* `cs(q` - (Hello W*orld) => “Hello World”
* `cs(Q` - (Hello W*orld) => ‘Hello World’

## Entering special characters

Sometimes you must enter special characters (like typographic quotes)
manually, such as in a search expression. You can do so through Vim’s digraphs
or via your operating system’s keyboard shortcuts.

| Glyph | Vim Digraph | OS X | Description
| ----- | ----------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------
| `` | `'6` | `Opt-]` | left single quotation mark
| `` | `'9` | `Shift-Opt-]` | right single quotation mark
| `` | `"6` | `Opt-[` | left double quotation mark
| `` | `"9` | `Shift-Opt-[` | right double quotation mark
| `` | `.9` | | single low-9 quote
| `` | `:9` | `Shift-Opt-w` | double low-9 quote
| `` | `1<` | `Opt-\` | left pointing single quotation mark
| `` | `1>` | `Shift-Opt-\` | right pointing single quotation mark
| `«` | `<<` | `Opt-\` | left pointing double quotation mark
| `»` | `>>` | `Shift-Opt-\` | right pointing double quotation mark
| `` | `1'` | | single prime
| `` | `2'` | | double prime
| `` | `-N` | `Opt-hyphen` | en dash
| `` | `-M` | `Shift-Opt-hyphen` | em dash
| `` | `..` | `Opt-;` | horizontal ellipsis
| ` ` | `NS` | | non-breaking space
| `ï` | `i:` | `Opt-U` `i` | lowercase i, umlaut
| `æ` | `ae` | `Opt-'` | lowercase ae

For example, to enter left double quotation mark ``, precede the digraph code
`"6` with `Ctrl-K`, like

* `«Ctrl-K» "6`

Alternatively, if you’re on OS X, you can use `Opt-[` to enter this
character.

For more details, see:

* `:help digraphs`

## International support

Many international keyboards feature keys to allow you to input
typographic quote characters directly. In such cases, you won’t need
to change the behavior of the straight quote keys.

But if you do, a standard convention is used by default:

```vim
let g:quotable#doubleDefault = '“”' " “double”
let g:quotable#singleDefault = '‘’' " ‘single’
```

Those users editing most of their prose in German may want to change their
defaults to:

```vim
let g:quotable#doubleDefault = '„“' " „doppel“
let g:quotable#singleDefault = '‚‘' " ‚einzel‘
```

International users who desire maximum control can switch between quote
pairings within a single buffer, adding the following key mappings to
their `.vimrc`:

```vim
nnoremap <silent> <leader>qd :call quotable#init()<cr> " forces defaults
nnoremap <silent> <leader>qn :call quotable#init({ 'double':'“”', 'single':'‘’' })<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>qg :call quotable#init({ 'double':'„“', 'single':'‚‘' })<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>qx :call quotable#init({ 'double':'„”', 'single':'‚’' })<cr>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>qf :call quotable#init({ 'double':'«»', 'single':'‹›' })<cr>
```
